Carter urges Charleston troops to consider future

By Cheryl Pellerin American Forces Press Service

Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter visited service members in the coastal low country of South Carolina June 18, urging the Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen who serve the nation here to think about the future.

Against the backdrop of a hulking C-17 Globemaster III transport jet, one of 54 on the base, Carter urged the service members to look ahead.

“It’s important to all of us, and we all need to think about … what’s next for us,” he said. “What’s the next challenge? What challenges in the security field are going to define our future?”

After 10 years of hard work, U.S. troops have done “incredibly well” at the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the deputy secretary said, crediting the efforts of many, including the service members here.

“No other military could do anything like what we’ve done,” Carter said. “But you can see that era is coming to an end.”

“There are many things you have done that are a signature of command and control and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance Charleston,” Carter said, “including the integration and shipping out to the systems.

“And the MRAP was there when they needed it because the integration was done over at SPAWAR,” he added. “It was brought over here, and you all flew it out so it was there on time. That’s history in the making. It’s making our country secure and saving the lives of Americans at the same time. You all did that, and we are truly grateful.”

That’s just one sign of Charleston and the Charleston community contributing to the U.S. war effort, Carter said.

During his visit to the joint base, Carter and his delegation had briefings on space and naval warfare systems and Army logistics and took time to thank military members and defense department civilians and their families for their service and sacrifice.

Carter brought thanks to the Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen from Washington, he said, and he also sent thanks along to the service members’ families.

“Whether it’s a spouse and children or a mom, dad or just a friend - whoever you’re close to, whoever you call family - tell them that you were thanked today and then turn around and thank them, because they support you, and it’s their support that makes it possible for you Deputy Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter is greeted by Col.

Vision, courage and influence: the qualities of great leaders

Commentary by Lt. Col. Anthony Carr 14th Airlift Squadron commander, 437th Airlift Wing

Great leaders are often mythologized as superhuman, "gifted" at birth with rare and amazing capabilities and thrust by fate into circumstances that they alone were equipped to navigate. This is an appealing but false narrative. In romanticizing leadership as we do, we appeal to the human spirit, drawing others to the challenge. However, we also short change great leaders, who became great because they worked hard over long periods of time to ingrain certain qualities within themselves.

In May 2000, Col. Robert Allardice took command of the 437th Operations Group. The unit was flush with talented officers, typically receiving only the top graduates from pilot training and routinely serving as a proving ground for the most well-regarded and elite mid-career commanders.

The group had performed well a few years earlier in Operation Allied Force, showcasing the unique capabilities of the C-17. Given these conditions and the base's standing as the crown jewel of the Air Mobility Command mission, Charleston's operators expected their new leader to simply place his hands on the controls and continue steering the unit on its established course. Allardice had other ideas. He saw unfulfilled potential. He knew there was much more the C-17 could do in its tactical and special operations roles and knew its pilots and loadmasters were not stretching themselves strenuously enough in training. He knew there would always be another conflict and that every conflict seemed to demand something different. He committed the group to expanding the mission set, training more rigorously and becoming more interoperable with ground forces. He faced doubt and resistance from his team and incurred career risk by abandoning the status quo, but remained true to his vision of a more capable and war-ready crew force. He empowered his subordinate commanders and prominent pilots to carry this vision forward.

Over the next 15 months, Allardice's vision was realized. Tactical expertise became the focus and

source of professional reward. The special operations low-level program grew exponentially and a Tactical Instructor program selectively trained the group's best pilots on leading edge techniques. By the time the 9/11 attacks occurred, Charleston was far better prepared for the challenges that would follow. On Oct. 8, 2001, two C-17s conducted a combat airdrop over the skies of Afghanistan on the opening night of the war, delivering food to starving Afghans and delivering a message of hope and resolve on behalf of the entire coalition.

This was possible not because Col. Allardice was a "born leader," but because he had prepared himself. He had developed an idea of what was important to his organization and cultivated within himself the moral courage to see it through.

He'd spent two decades in the leadership arena, developing the ability to persuade and motivate others. His is a great military example, but leadership comes in many forms.

At the very same moment Allardice's C-17s were conducting missions over Afghanistan, a musician named Dave Grohl and his band, Foo Fighters, were in the studio, recording songs for an upcoming album. After three highly popular records, countless big-ticket concert venues and the accumulation of a large fan base, the band was feeling the weight of expectation. Initial studio activity for the fourth album had produced a number of disappointing recordings, yet the band marched on, financially and contractually bound to produce music. They went through the motions, finalizing work on a dozen songs. As band members sat back and reviewed their work, Grohl found himself at a moral crossroads. He and the band were obliged to produce a record, but they were also obliged to their fans and to their own integrity to release only their best work and these initial recordings fell well short of that mark.

After reflection and conflict among the band, Grohl made the eyebrow-raising decision to void the studio effort, which had taken six months and cost several hundred thousand dollars and "face the music" with the lawyers and executives. For the next several months, the band existed in name only, with members engaged in side projects and

their future very much in doubt. In April 2002, the band reunited in Grohl's home studio, where they decided to completely re-record the album. In just under a week and at a cost of next to nothing, the band produced the songs that would comprise the Grammy-winning album One by One and instantly regained their footing as musicians and teammates. The band has since enjoyed a decade of unrivaled commercial and artistic success, reaching millions of fans worldwide.

To successfully navigate this leadership challenge, Grohl had to stick with his long-term vision and exercise the moral courage to push back against industry pressures. He also had to understand his team well enough to employ unique methods to motivate and inspire them. Because of his experience and observation skills, Grohl knew that only by letting the band come apart temporarily could he keep them together for the long haul.

He wasn't born with this inner genius, he developed it.

It is said that history may not repeat itself, but it rhymes. So it is with leadership. While it comes in many forms, leadership conforms to a pattern.

Allardice and Grohl are just two of numerous leaders who've exhibited a unique combination of personal qualities to achieve big things. Great leaders become great by fighting resistance and skepticism, building the consensus and commitment of followers and keeping one eye trained on the long view. These qualities are not born into great leaders, they're developed over a professional lifetime of moral reflection, mental preparation and time in the arena developing the ability to influence and persuade others.

Allardice and Grohl are not mythological figures; they are hard-working, self-made leaders whose key qualities resulted in positive impact for millions of people. This is good news for their fellow mere mortals; whether your passion is combat airlift or rock-and-roll, you have the power to add your story to this narrative. Jump into the arena and commit yourself to developing vision, moral courage, and the ability to influence people.

Develop these qualities and watch for your moment. Greatness is sure to follow.

Diamond Tip: Resilience: It is not just the latest buzzword

Commentary by Master Sgt. Brett Hopkins 437th Operations Support Squadron first sergeant

Throughout a military member's career, they are likely to hear many buzzwords that indicate a certain process, program or requirement has special focus from their leadership. Sometimes, this focus is perceived as a sort of "flavor of the month" to be endured, then forgotten. Sometimes these buzzwords disappear as an idea floats into obsolescence or irrelevance.

Sometimes they disappear because they have become part of the culture; adapted to the advancement of our military professionalism. I hope that “resilience” will become a buzzword.

Resilience is what makes the old adage "it's not what happens to you, it's how you react to it that matters" ring true. Resiliency is everything you do to shore up those four pillars of well being after the devastating 8.7 earthquake hits your life. Resiliency is being prepared to handle life's bumps yourself and the willingness to ask for help when it is needed. The military does an outstanding job of providing shoulders for you to lean on when tough times hit.

It once was stigmatized as bad for your career to seek outside help for your issues, but that has changed dramatically in today's Air Force. We, as a military would much rather have you seek help and return to full duty than

be distracted and ineffective for long periods while muddling through your problem unaided. Helping agencies provide everything from mental health services, to a caring ear by licensed clinicians who can meet with you without generating any record for less intensive issues.

So if you are an Airman, Sailor, Soldier or Marine, often the most courageous thing you can do to is to ask for a hand up. At Joint Base Charleston, we all have access to the mental health clinic, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment, Be Well, Military Family and Life Consultants, Resiliency Enhancement Visit, chaplains, Sexual Assault Response Coordinators, American Red Cross, Airman and Family Readiness Center, supervisors, friends, mentors, first sergeants, commanders and agencies too numerous to name here. Military OneSource is a highly valuable asset for short-term, off-base referrals and great information. Supervisors, this is your call to learn about how best to support and solidify the resiliency of yourself and your subordinates.

Having the strength and resources to deal with everything from that well deserved Enlisted Performance Report rating you know you earned, but can't believe you got, to an unimaginable tragedy that leaves your quivering in its wake defines resiliency. Without resiliency, the mission doesn't get done.

That is a quality that should be part of our military culture!

JAG Corps announces law school programs

Courtesy of the 628th Air Base Wing Judge Advocate General office

Applications for the Funded Legal Education Program and Excess Leave Program will be accepted beginning January 1, 2013 through March 2013 and interested Air Force officers are encouraged to compete. The number of FLEP and ELP applicants selected in any academic year is determined based on the needs of the Air Force.

"Our Air Force missions are constantly changing, and commanders deserve to have access to legal advisors with a broad background of military experiences," said Maj. Tamona Bright, Chief of the Accessions Branch, Professional Development Directorate, Office of the Judge Advocate General in Washington, D.C. "The FLEP and ELP will ensure we can continue to maintain a corps of officers whose military experience complements their legal training providing commanders with the highest caliber of legal support."

According to Bright, Air Force JAGs do more than just provide legal assistance. In addition to prosecuting and defending clients brought before courts-martial, JAG officers routinely participate in nearly every facet of the Air Force mission including developing and acquiring weapons systems, ensur-

ing availability of airspace and ranges where those systems are tested and operated, consulting with commanders about how those systems are employed in armed conflict and assisting commanders in the day-to-day running of military installations around the world.

"Every facet of every Air Force mission is bound by elements of the law," Bright said.

The FLEP is a paid legal studies program for active-duty Air Force commissioned officers and is an assignment action.

Participants receive full pay, allowances and tuition. FLEP applicants must have between two and six years active duty service (enlisted or commissioned) and must be in the pay grade O-3 or below as of the day they begin law school. The FLEP is subject to tuition limitations and positions may be limited due to overall funding availability. The Air Force Institute of Technology establishes the tuition limit.

The ELP is an unpaid legal studies program for Air Force officers. ELP participants do not receive pay and allowances but remain on active duty for retirement eligibility and benefits purposes. ELP applicants must have between two and 10 years active duty service and must be in pay grade O-3 or below as of the first day of law school.

Both the FLEP and ELP programs require attendance at an

American Bar Association accredited law school. Upon graduation and admission to practice law in the highest court of any state, commonwealth or territory of the United States, candidates are eligible for designation as judge advocates. To be considered for FLEP or ELP, applicants must complete all application forms, apply (acceptance is not required at the time of application for FLEP/ELP) to at least one ABA accredited law school, receive their Law School Admissions Test results and interview with a Staff Judge Advocate by Feb. 15, 2013. Officers must provide a letter of conditional release from their current career field.

Applications meet with a selection board in early March and selections are made based on a review of the application package using a "whole person" concept. The total number of applicants selected for any academic year is based on the needs of the Air Force.

AFI 51-101, Judge Advocate Accession Program, Chapters 2 and 3, discuss the FLEP and ELP. For more information and application materials, visit http://www.airforce.com/jag, or contact Capt. Laura DeSio, at laura.desio@pentagon.af.mil or 1-800-JAG-USAF). You may also contact the local Air Force JAG Corps recruiter, Capt. Sarah Hadacek at 963-5502.

Private motor vehicles: slow down; pay attention Courtesy of the 628th Air Base Wing Safety office

Private Motor Vehicle mishaps are a serious danger to our safety. Reckless behavior includes excessive speed, alcohol use, no seat belt use or extreme maneuvers (surfing, racing, etc.); 86 percent of PMV fatality mishaps (as of Sept. 30, 2011) were attributable to these factors. It is this behavior that continues to be a threat to our service members.

Here are a few statistics and information related to speeding, aggressive driving and distracted driving:

Speeding According to the National Safety Council website, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that speed is involved in about one out of three fatal crashes. It is the third leading contributing factor to traffic crashes.

But while injuries and fatalities due to other dangerous behaviors, such as driving while impaired and not wearing seatbelts have been significantly reduced, speeding is still a challenge.

Speeding results in: • Lives lost - more than 13,000 each year. • Work zone crashes and fatalities - speed was a factor in 27 percent of fatal crashes in construction and maintenance zones in 2005. • Unsafe school zones - compliance with lower speed limits is poor. • Economic costs - speed-related crashes cost society more than $40 billion annually, according to NHTSA. Every minute "gained" by speeding to a destination costs U.S. society more than $76,000.

Aggressive Driving Most of us know it when we see it, but NHTSA, after discussions with law enforcement and the judiciary, defines aggressive driving as occurring when "an individual commits a combination of moving traffic offenses so as to endanger other persons or property.

Road rage differs from aggressive driving. It is a criminal offense and is "an assault with a motor vehicle or other dangerous weapon by the operator or passenger(s) of one motor vehicle on the operator or passenger(s) of another motor vehicle or is caused by an incident that occurred on a roadway."

Aggressive driving has become a serious problem on

Drivers speed because: • They're in a hurry. • They're inattentive to their driving. • They don't take traffic laws seriously; they don't think the laws apply to them. • They don't view their driving behavior as dangerous. • They don't expect to get caught. • Some or all of the above.

our roadways. Some behaviors typically associated with aggressive driving include: exceeding the posted speed limit, following too closely, erratic or unsafe lane changes, improperly signaling lane changes, failure to obey traffic control devices (stop signs, yield signs, traffic signals, railroad grade cross signals, etc.) Law enforcement agencies should include red light running as part of their definition of aggressive driving. NHTSA calls the act of red light running as one of the most dangerous forms of aggressive driving.

Distracted Driving Distracted driving is any activity that could divert a person's attention away from the primary task of driving. All distractions endanger driver, passenger and bystander safety.

These types of distractions include: • Texting • Using a cell phone or smart phone • Eating and drinking • Talking to passengers • Grooming • Reading, including maps • Using a navigation system • Watching a video • Adjusting a radio, CD player or MP3 player Distractions can be broken into three main types: • Manual: taking your hands off the wheel • Visual: taking your eyes off the road • Cognitive: taking your mind off driving Because text messaging requires visual, manual and cognitive attention from the driver, it is by far the most alarming distraction.

One last statistic: every 24 seconds there is a crash involving drivers using cell phones and texting.

By Airman 1st Class Tom Brading Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs

A Joint Base Charleston Airman recently received a cash bonus for discovering an innovative way to repair cables once they were deemed unserviceable.

Master Sgt. Michael Stone, 437th Airlift Wing maintenance engineering superintendent, received more than $9,000 through the Air Force Innovative Development Employee Awareness program.

Stone identified two C17 Globemaster III integrated processor cables that were being thrown away once they became unserviceable, forcing the maintainers to order new cables to replace the damaged cables.

In addition to new cables being costly for the Air Force, every cable ordered goes out for bid with long lead times before the part can arrive on base. Stone discovered the cables were simple to repair and able to be done locally, saving between $900 and $1380 per cable repair.

"In the maintenance world," said Stone, "the IDEA program is something we're often engaged with. Any improvement or correction we have gets submitted to the program.

It's just part of the job we learn to take advantage of early in our career."

According to Stone, submitting requests through the IDEA program not only may benefit Airmen financially, but also makes their day-to-day jobs easier. Stone encourages all Airmen to submit their own ideas to make the Air Force better.

"The IDEA program isn't limited to just the maintenance world," said Stone. "Airmen can put in ideas for almost anything Air Force related ranging from fitness, assignments and anywhere they see a better way of accomplishing our mission. If a system is broken, it doesn't matter what rank you are; if you know a way to fix it, speak up and tell your supervisor. Your input will run through your chain of command and make a difference."

Stone's 'difference' was able to save the Air Force more than $65,000 annually.

According to Stone, the worst thing Airmen could do is not speak up.

"Selected ideas streamline processes or improve and increase productivity and efficiency in the workplace," said Tech Sgt. Antwon Parker, 628th Air Base Wing Force Support Squadron manpower analyst and IDEA program manager. "However, the program also recognizes intangible benefits such as improving morale and working conditions."

The program is available to all Air Force service members and civilians.

"If your process improvement idea saves the Air Force money during the first operational year of its suggestion, you may also receive a kick back of that cash," said Stone.

"Airmen are eligible to receive 15 percent of the savings their ideas generate, up to $10,000, as a one-time payment for the idea."

"Just a little time can earn you big bucks," said Parker. "While making money, you can also make your job easier and benefit the Air Force."

Navy E-Learning improves efficiency of learning content delivery Courtesy of Sea Warrior Program Public Affairs

ARLINGTON, Va. – Sailors around the world - and around the clock - have come to depend on Navy e-Learning to help advance their careers.

Navy e-Learning offers more than 7,500 courses and is one of the largest Web-based training systems today, operating ashore and on ships and submarines at sea.

Ensuring its dependability 365/24/7 is no small technical feat. For example, imagine every time you turned on your TV, it had to call one server for video, another server for audio, yet another for text, and then finally one for animated content.

Next, your TV would compile all this content, and then finally display it real-time so you could enjoy the presentation.

Technically speaking, that's dynamic content delivery.

The Navy had originally invested in dynamic content delivery to reduce the cost to maintain and update electronic training content, as well as to enable content discovery and reuse. When NeL began in 2001, and operated on a smaller scale, dynamic content was technically manageable within a reasonable cost.

However, as the NeL courseware library and number of users increased over the past 10 years, the supporting IT infrastructure also grew to ensure a quality experience for the user.

In other words, the technical and funding aspects associated with sustaining dynamic delivery were outpacing the benefits of that approach. As a result, the Sea Warrior Program and the Naval Education and Training Command undertook an effort to convert all electronic training course content and data that were "dynamically" delivered from the Learning Content Management System into the Sharable Content Object Reference Model 2004 format for delivery by the Learning Management System.

SCORM is a collection of technical standards that defines how units of online training material need to be created so the content can "play" well in different Learning Management Systems and contexts.

"SCORM is mandated by Department of Defense Instruction 1322.26, and it's the best approach for Web-based e-learning courseware interoperability," said Hank Reeves, Navy e-Learning project director.

"In simple terms, SCORM is like the DVD standard for distributing digital films. A DVD-formatted movie plays on any video disc player, regardless of manufacturer. Having all elearning content packaged in SCORM format reduces the cost

of testing, hosting, and managing content deployment," said Reeves.

Converting the electronic training content that was dynamically delivered by an LCMS to SCORM allows the NeL technical team to deploy and track content usage more efficiently within all NeL environments (i.e., NIPR, SIPR, and afloat).

"Our team converted or retired 1,209 training course programs. This represents nearly 20 percent of all courses within Navy e-Learning. A huge impact when you consider that last month we reached three million NeL course enrollments for this year," said Reeves.

The SCORM project was a large challenge for the NeL team and training content sponsors as the courses were originally developed using an LCMS software application that had some non-standard ways of authoring and delivering content.

Although this application provided an automated means to export content to the SCORM format, the output still required NeL team members to manually correct converted files and resolve the conversion problems. This close attention to detail resulted in training products that were often better than the original training content.

"The Navy e-Learning team did a great job resolving a variety of complex technical issues," said Reeves. "We worked closely with course sponsors to ensure that the converted content satisfied the requirements of our fleet learners.

I am pleased with how well everyone on the team performed under time and budget constraints."

Much of the content converted by the NeL team was very 'high profile, high usage' material including 28 Navy general military training courses and 146 Basic Engineering Common Core courses. These courses were the most technically challenging for converting to SCORM because they used interactive 'Flash' technology.

"Converting dynamic e-learning content to SCORM offers two significant business benefits to the Navy," said Roger White, PMW 240 assistant program manager for Training and Education.

"First, it yields cost savings by allowing the elimination of 43 servers and software licenses that no longer need to be maintained and updated. Second, the SCORM conversion enables a smoother transition to the Enterprise Training Management Delivery System , the Navy's modernized Webenabled e-learning delivery capability. Organizations devel-

oping content for distribution via ETMDS may use any authoring tool capable of producing SCORM-conformant content. This will allow us to more easily insert newer deployment technologies, such as application cloud technology, without having to re-develop the content," said White.

The NeL SCORM project involved collecting data to determine enrollment and completion metrics for courses eligible for conversion. Through a collaborative effort with 27 different sponsors, 749 courses were identified as candidates for retirement and removed from NeL. A valuable lesson learned from the dynamic content reduction project is the importance of regularly monitoring electronic course usage to keep the course library relevant and current. The project also contributed to improved NETC policy related to maintaining electronic training content.

The Sea Warrior Program manages a complex portfolio of information technology systems to recruit, train, pay, promote, move, retire, and support Navy personnel and deliver Distance Support IT to the fleet. The PMW 240 Program is part of the Navy Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information Systems which develops, acquires, and deploys seamless enterprise-wide IT systems with full lifecycle support for the warfighter and business enterprise.

Total Force Personnel Services Customer Experience survey launches June 22

By Tech. Sgt. Steve Grever Air Force Personnel, Services and Manpower Public Affairs

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas – Air Force officials will distribute an online survey June 22 to to solicit feedback about user's experiences using the myPersTotal Force Service Center and myPers website.

Thousands of Regular Air Force, Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve and civilian members will be asked for their participation in the survey.

Mary McAfee, the quality assurance project lead at the Air Force TFSC, said the survey will run for 60 days and give personnel officials direct comments from their customers.

"This survey will help us understand our customers' habits and needs and how well we're meeting their expectations," McAfee said. "We will use the feedback to develop and implement improvements, revise procedures and make note of where we are successful so we can replicate those successes."

Officials encourage all total force members to participate in the survey to enable Air Force leaders to gauge the effectiveness of the myPers-TFSC. "The Air Force vision for personnel services and the myPers-TFSC is to offer more online applications and information so our members can use myPers for as many of their personnel service needs as possible," McAfee said. "We want to automate personnel processes from start to finish and consolidate where possible to the myPers-TFSC." The myPers-TFSC and myPers website seamlessly mesh Air Force online personnel services, telephone and transaction support capabilities to provide first-class personnel support to total force Airmen.

For general information about personnel services and programs, visit the myPers website.

Airman Leadership School honors graduate and WWII hero

U.S. Air Force photo / Airman 1st Class Chacarra Walker

Col. Richard McComb, Joint Base Charleston commander, and Chief Master Sgt. Earl Hannon, 628th Air Base Wing command chief, present the John L. Levitow Award to Petty Officer 2nd Class Eric Martin during the Airman Leadership School Class graduation June 14, 2012, at Joint Base Charleston - Air Base, S.C. Martin is a machinist’s mate assigned to the 628th Security Forces Squadron Information Protection office at Joint Base Charleston – Weapons Station. The Levitow Award is given for a student's exemplary demonstration of excellence, both as a leader and a scholar.

Retired Col. Gail Halvorsen, the famed "Candy Bomber," speaks at the Airman Leadership School graduation at Joint Base Charleston, S.C., June 14, 2012. Halvorsen was a pilot in the United States Air Force and is best known for piloting C-47s and C-54s during the Berlin Airlift from 1948-1949. Halvorsen dropped candy attached to parachutes to children below. His main goal was to raise the morale of the children during the time of uncertainty.

Air Force Lt. finishes Bronco's mini-camp, continues to follow dream

Story and photo by Senior Airman Christopher Gross 460th Space Wing Public Affairs

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – As another year of the National Football League season nears, military members might want to pay closer attention to their TVs as one of their own maybe lining up on the gridiron Sunday afternoons.

Benjamin Garland, a Grand Junction, Colo. native, recently completed the Denver Broncos three-day minicamp and seemed happy with how things are going thus far.

"It's always been my dream to play for the Broncos; being a Colorado native, you couldn't ask for anything more than playing for your hometown team," Garland said. "It's one of the most challenging things (I've) ever experienced.

It's tough, it's difficult, but as every Airmen knows, that's not something you shy away from. It's that challenge every Airmen loves."

After receiving his commission from the Air Force Academy in 2010, Garland received several offers as a free agent from teams around the league. One of them being the Broncos, and he said it was an offer he couldn't pass up.

"It's been my dream to be in the Air Force ever since I was a little kid," said the nearly 300 pound defensive end.

"I love the Air Force-every moment of it, and it was a really tough decision, but being a member of the Broncos is my dream. I have to pursue it as well as staying in the Guard and continue to work for the Air Force."

After receiving permission, Garland used his 60 days of post-graduation leave from the Academy to try out for the Broncos in 2010, eventually signing a three-year contract with the team.

Garland said it hasn't been easy, and it's a constant battle of proving himself every day to show he deserves a spot on the team. He said it's a completely different atmosphere from when he was playing for the Academy.

"It's the professionals-you're talking faster, more powerful and stronger (players). You can make an error in college and get away with it. You can can't make an error and get away with it in the NFL," he said.

His hard work and dedication to two different organizations hasn't gone unnoticed either. Broncos defensive tackle Justin Bannan, in his 11 NFL season, knows a hard worker when he sees one.

"The guy can outwork anybody when it comes to running and training," Bannan said. "For a big guy like himself, to run as hard as he can and go as hard as he can, I think he just pushes everybody and kind of sets the standard."

Not only was Bannan impressed with his athleticism and motivation on the field but also his off-field commitment with the Guard as well. He said he has a lot of respect for Garland's tremendous commitment and sacrifice, "it shows what kind of unselfish human being that he is."

Garland has applied the Air Force core values not only in his military career but also with the Broncos, according to Bannan, who's known Garland since graduating from the Academy in 2010. He's seen him use those characteristics every day and has never seen him slack on something or take a day off.

Now, two years later, he finds himself back in Colorado assigned to the 140th Public Affairs Office, Colorado Air National Guard, at Buckley AFB, Colo. where he'll make his Guard time up during the off-season.

Where do you turn when you need mental health services?
